but have you ever heard any of them say that a man can't present a tv programme coz they have a cock and are therefore infinitely inferior?:?
best i could come up with at short notice.
they actually said somthing similar that men couldnt present "their" show as no one would watch it, but didnt involve the word cock as i dont believe you can say that on daytime tv.
mate - that's the point - i believe their show is "for women, by women" - but general football isn't. (shouldn't be). i understand there is some quite sexist stuff on tvx - but i don't watch that either.
i agree that "banter" between FRIENDS is harmless - the clip shown of gray with the microphone stuffing down the pants incident for example is ambiguous coz we don't know if he's best mates with the female presenter and she'd find it funny. she didn't seem to though.
however - the bit with keys going on about karren brady is just sinister.
i agree with you that too many people are offended (like that hurts) on behalf of others but i don't think that applies in this case.
the very fact that sky/NI sack gray and then put thE pic of the liner on the front page of our best selling newspaper (that thinks tits are ok at the family breakfast table) showing a bit of thigh and looking a bit sexy exposes the hypocrisy of this whole thing.
and i also agree with others that this whole episode is completely contrived to get gray sacked coz he's taking NI to court for other illegal practices.
the whole thing fucking stinks.
